| 82 | ÷ | ( | 100 | + | x | ) | = | 50 |
| Multiply both sides of the equation by: | ( | 100 | + | x | ) |
| 82 | = | 50 | ( | 100 | + | x | ) |
| 82 | = | 50 | × | 100 | + | 50 | x |
| 82 | = | 5000 | + | 50 | x |
| - | 50 | x | = | 5000 | − | 82 |
| - | 50 | x | = | 4918 |
| - | 4918 | = | 50 | x |
| 50 | x | = | - | 4918 |
| x | = | - | 4918 | ÷ | 50 |
| = | - | 4918 | × | 1 50 |
| = | - | 2459 | × | 1 25 |
| x | = | - | 2459 25 |
| x | = | - 98.36 |
